Its delete-duplicates-windows.exe for windows
and delete-duplicates-linux for linux.
Open the terminal / the console and run:
PATH/TO/delete-duplicates.py PATH/OF/DUPLICATES
Replace PATH/TO/ with the path of the delete-duplicates.py.
Also relace PATH/OF/DUPLICATES with your path of duplicate files.
After that a config will open where you can change what the script will do.
Then open the terminal / the console and run:
PATH/TO/delete-duplicates.py
To run the run the commands listed in the action file. The action file will do what the explanation says by default. But you can change what it will do quite easily. Just read the file it has all the needed info.
To better explain the default, let's consider:
- File (1).txt
- File (2).txt
- File (3).txt
- File.txt
Then it will delete the oldest 3 files,
keep the newest and rename it to File.txt
